What's the difference between these 3 heli's?
What are the differences between the . . .
Honeybee FP2
Honeybee CP2
Honeybee Mark 3
I can get the Mark3 for $178 at http://www.hobby-lobby.com/honeybee3.htm
and the CP2 for $180 at http://www.bphobbies.com/view.asp?id...2&pid=NESKV001
I can't find any websites for the CP2.
I'm a pure newbie by the way so which plane is the best for me?

DO NOT get the CP2, as that is a collective pitch heli. For your first heli, you want a fixed pitch (FP). The mark 4 is a good heli, as people say, but it is the same thing as a honeybee, dragonfly 4, or falcon 40. All of these heli sell for about 80 dollars. I would get the falcon 40, it gets greast reviews, and is inexpensive. Check out the FALCON 40 thread in the electric heli forum.

If you just want to fly around inside (outside with no wind) and have a good time buy a Blade CX or equivalent and fly it around. Less than $200, comes with a radio, and easy not to crash.

Or buy a real RC helicopter not a toy. Falcon included. Sorry.

The CX is WAY MORE of a toy than the falcon 40 or any other single-rotor fixed pitch helicopter. Ive yet to see a real co-axial helicopter...........

Well if someone would have put there Falcon in the air today with 15 MPH winds I would have been impressed. No takers at my field today. It was a lone ballsie TREX450 flier or 30 sized and above in the air today.
What I am saying is, the CX is a toy and the CP (and ones of size like it) are just upgrades to that toy. On the flip side, the CX is a good fun toy... that is easy to fly.
